Samsung was forced to recallits Galaxy Note7 after dozens of reports emerged showing that the phone’s battery can overheat and explode. Samsung issued replacement phones, but some of them are reportedly experiencing problems related to overheating batteries.

On Wednesday, U.S. regulators warnedthat some Samsung washing machines are also prone to exploding.

Oculus has had its own troubles. The company’s co-founder Palmer Luckey was secretly funding a pro-Trump political organization, according to a report from The Daily Beast. That group has been linked to hateful memes shared online.

In response, a number of virtual reality developers said they would stop supporting the Oculus Rift platform until Luckey stepped down. He has since issued an apology.

The only good news this month for either company is that exploding batteries haven’t turned Galaxy Note7 owners into Apple fans just yet. Accordingto Samsung, about 90 percent of Note7 users haven't jumped ship to the iPhone.
